rvlc and socket

Postby albert60 » 12 May 2011 16:05

Hello
I was told that if I write in a terminal

Code: Select all

rvlc --rc-unix=socket1
and in an another terminal I write

Code: Select all

echo 'help' | nc -U socket1
I will get the result of the help command in the second terminal. But unfortanutely it doesn't work
Can you please help me about this point ??

Not all netcat versions support Unix sockets... Also not all VLC versions.
